Lastly, I will admit that I'm just a little giddy about the print edition release of Take a Picture / Chain Reaction. I'm looking forward to getting a box of them soon. :) I'm also excited to announce that AIRE and HAUNTING JOY are going to be audio books! They're both currently in production, with release dates this summer. Wow, what a year! :-)

Aww, you know it's my pleasure! *blushing* YOU are amazing with your cover designs and formatting! I couldn't have navigated the self-pubbing world without you. *Hugs*

I'm really thrilled with how this week went, as well - so glad everyone had a blast! :)

This is definitely an exciting year on the publishing front! I love that you made Take a Picture available in paperback, and I think that's awesome that you're tackling audio now, too! Will be eager to hear how it turns out for you. :)

A Prayer for Humility

"Break me, Lord, until I'm wholly yours."

~ Tamera Alexander(The Inheritance)

My Indie Publishing Journey

Welcome to My Blog!

The title of this blog refers to a poem I wrote entitled Seasons of Humility. In the poem I express the struggle I have had with wanting my own way. I want to hold on to my own dreams, my own plans for my life. But I know that God has a plan for my life, one that will bring Him glory and will be even better than my dreams. So while the autumn and winter "seasons" of learning to let go can sometimes be painful and long, when the spring comes it is wondrous indeed. And through it all God never leaves me. The intent of this blog, then, is to share my thoughts as I continue on this journey of striving to be humble before my Lord. My hope is that my thoughts will encourage you on your journey, as well, whether my thoughts are on my day or on the books I have been reading!
